Imperial Soldier Makeovers

Stormtrooper Playboy Bunny Spices up the Iconic Star Wars Characters

— August 3, 2011 — Pop Culture
It turns out that the Imperial soldiers in the Empire have a slight sensual appeal as Jason Alper proves with his Stormtrooper Playboy Bunny artwork.

The Stormtrooper Playboy Bunny is a humorous pop-cultural mash-up that collides the world of George Lucas and Hugh Hefner together. The infamous Stormtrooper who serves under Darth Vader has been transformed into the Playboy Bunny. The overall look of the solider hasn't changed too much with the design of the helmet because the only difference is that you don't see as much of the black accents that you'd normally see. But that's probably the intention considering how the Playboy Bunny is completely white with the exception of the eyes.

The Stormtrooper Playboy Bunny is a humorous take on two pop culture icons that's clever and instantly recognizable at the same time.
